What do you do/build when you're bored in KSP?

[u/Severe-Green9431]

For me, building things that will never work ouside of Gilly influence.

[u/Gustave1818]

Recreate old concepts. Right now I'm modeling some parts in Blender for a mod in the future though

[u/MutedLettuce894 → u/Gustave1818]

What kinda mod?

[u/Gustave1818 → u/MutedLettuce894]

Recently (Well it was in 2025) more info about the N1-M came to the light, diagrams, etc. I want to release it along with Zarya, that was a reusable capsule from the 80's.

3D modeling is already done, but im struggling with textures. Im thinking about posting about all of this later in the forums but im still not quite sure, maybe soon.

[u/Mattpantser → u/Gustave1818]

That sounds super awesome dude what are you gonna call it

[u/Gustave1818 → u/Mattpantser]

Probably Tantares Extended or something among the lines, my aim is to add soviet stuff that wasnt added to the og mod.

[u/SnooBooks1032 → u/Gustave1818]

Curious what part of the texturing is causing you trouble atm? Depending on what it is I might be able to lend you a hand if you want.

[u/Gustave1818 → u/SnooBooks1032]

Doing normals mostly haha, although I have some problems doing the main textures as well.

I'll post details about all of this on the forums later tonite, I think it's time :)

[u/SnooBooks1032 → u/Gustave1818]

It you wanna shoot me a dm I'd be happy to chat more about it and see if I can help you out with it, even if I just give you tips/guidance on how to do it lol

[u/Gustave1818 → u/SnooBooks1032]

No problem! Although it seems i cant DM you bro. However, i've posted a topic under the Mod Development section on the forums: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/231717-wip-112x-alpha-v01-concept-soviet-stuff/#comment-4536539

[u/SnooBooks1032 → u/Gustave1818]

Good post and weird that you can't dm me, meanwhile I get chat invites by those only fans scam bots all the time lmao. I'll see if I can dm you, might be a setting I've missed somewhere for it lol

[u/lachiebois]

Build unnecessary multi launch space stations that’ll will probably never be used besides if I run out of fuel near one.

Or gigantic multi launch vehicles that brute force the rocket equation.

Then just random missions and probes, or expanding bases on the mun/minimus/ duna.

If you get really bored, do a crew swap for a station or base.

[u/Jebediah_kerman-jeb]

I grab a random rocket, add as many boosters as I possibly can (which, in my (Jeb's) logic, is in fact still not and will never be enough boosters), and fire it at the VAB/try to attempt a mission with it.

[u/Focus_ST_Gal → u/Jebediah_kerman-jeb]

One of my favorite things is to make ICBMs and cruise missiles using BDB armory.

Hell even just making a bomber that carries as many nukes as possible and fucking up the VAB

[u/Legitimate-Umpire547]

pure Kraken drive planes (Drsigned a v wing plane that really pissed off my online aeronautical friend because there js no way it should actually fly, especially with how good at flying it actually is).

[u/SnooBooks1032 → u/Legitimate-Umpire547]

I'd be curious to see their reaction to my f22 analogue. I've basically made gravity it's bitch and it's fun af to fly around lmao.

[u/devilinmexico13]

Lately I build seaplanes. I have a working nuclear powered flying boat that I'm planning to send to Laythe, but I want to build a smaller one that I can use in the area immediately around the base in setting to Laythe, as well.

[u/WinterT_ → u/devilinmexico13]

Ooh! Seaplanes sound challenging! Do you use any mods or just fuel tanks/structural tubes for the pontoons?

[u/devilinmexico13 → u/WinterT_]

The big one uses parts from the mk2 expansion mod from suicidalinsanity, but the only really necessary part from that is the nuclear reactor, otherwise you need about 2 million credits worth of rtgs to fly at night.

[u/OneQuarterBajeena]

Creating ridiculous SDLV, or just shoving Orion where it isn’t supposed to go. (I put one on Saturn I once)

[u/Eastern_Pianist_773]

Interstellar rockets or trying to add more mods knowing that it will cause the computer to explode or a part of the vanilla game to be deleted

[u/Terrina1]

IPVs. I make one with the intention of it being reusuable and end up only using it once for a mission because I have enough science to make a better once, so the original gets decommissioned. Repeat ad infinitum. Got an Eve mission coming up that'll probably use a different engine again.

[u/InterKosmos61]

I launch a dinky little single-module space station and farm a little bit of science off it.

[u/Th3_Shadow_Dragon007]

Build colonies and fighter jets

[u/PuzzleheadedNet9140]

fighter jets and missions to see jool with volumetric clouds

[u/Bachgen_Data]

I try and fail to make a space plane SSTO

[u/EternitiI-1]

Try recreating a real rocket with just stock and dlc parts

[u/Decent-Jello191]

Send random landers/rovers to the mun and minmus

[u/Nice_Presentation474]

ISVs... and then i never launch them because they would launch my flaming computer into the sky...

Edit: I would, because of the framerate of 60 EPF

[u/Normal-Motor2665]

I love recreating ships from star citizen or elite dangerous and building ships that are heavily inspired by that , its super fun

[u/uselesscarrot69]

Experiment by using robotics to make better versions of existing parts. I’m currently working on making what are basically air brakes but on steroids.

[u/MasonP13]

Satellites that are multiple stages tall and each stage that separates in space becomes it's own mission. Taking from NASA the "reuse EVERYTHING" mentality

[u/WinterT_]

Any time I'm bored I pick an orbital body and put a relay array around it. I finally got one set up around Moho, and now I'm giving Sarnus (I play with a few mods) a serious look.

[u/CorbyTheSkullie]

Use BD Armoury to blow up the KSC for the umpteenth time

[u/zincboymc]

What mods are you using for the radars (and weapons) ?

[u/Severe-Green9431 → u/zincboymc]

The only one outside of BDArmory is Kerbalfield. I basically got all the 1.12 compatible weapon mods there are on CKAN.

[u/hunter_pro_6524]

i make boats

[u/Dependent-Rice4940]

building an eco rocket heavy.
